This cabinet is absolutely gorgeous. The drawers slide out smoothly and don't stutter on the way in or out. The surface is finished smoothly and feels light and airy to the touch. The "new furniture smell" on this is rather intense, however, and takes some time to fully dissipate. I love that the wood top is wide enough to be utilized for different functions while providing an aesthetically pleasing finish to the piece. The open shelves beneath are also spacious enough to fit a wide variety of dishes and things. We are using this cabinet for our children's dishes, plates, utensils, etc, as well as their snacks. It definitely holds more than I would've expected it to from the pictures. 

One final word of warning, though, is that there were many small parts and it took a long time to assemble.
